I have repeatedly asked o2 not to give my details to anyone, and registered my mobile phone with the TPS. Is o2 particularly bad for this, or are all networks bad?”
Yeah its normally a phone company who say something like "we are acting on behalf of orange and have a very special offer on a new mobile phone at the moment...." etc etc.
At that point I normally launch into my own sales talk and turn the tables and try to sell them a computer: "I'm glad you called. Obviously working in an office you know the benefits of a reliable, fast and efficient computer system. I have just the system for you, at home or in the office" etc etc. (I've normally got a computer mag lying around that I can pull lots of impressive spec from)
I know it doesnt stop them calling, but it amuses me and it means they get a taste of their own medicine. The only difference being that I dont stop for breath. Mostly they hang up after about 5 minutes.....
